(21 Jul 2015, 7:02 pm)South Tyne Lad It looks to me that these Solos are fitted with the Euro 6 6 cylinder Cummins ISB Engine , not the typical Mercedes found in other Solos in GNE.
These will for definite be fitted with Allison gearboxes like the other Solos or have GNE moved to Voith transmissions altogether?

Wrong

How? they have the same size side grill as the ones new to Stagecoach this year in the north west which are Cummins powered , Whilst the Euro 6 Mercedes Solos with Scarlet Band have a smaller side grill.

Normally really like the colours GNE use. Afraid this one is awful. Let's hope the branding tones it down

See what it's like branded? 

The Saltwell Park Streetlites looked dog awful in that mint colour when they first arrived, yet I'd say it's one of the best examples of branding they have.

I agree; when I first glimpsed a ''Coast & Country'' Streetlite on delivery to Saltmeadows Road, in the plain lime green base colour, I thought it didn't look particularly nice. Now that all of them have been in service for nearly 3 months, and are all branded up; I still think it's one of Go North East's smartest brands. They've really upped their game with the new branding recently, considering at one point most of the now corporate-liveried services were just thrown a useless brand. I expect the ''East Durham'' branding to be hopefully improved, and I have faith that it will look fantastic.
